Jacob Le Mort 1650-1718 after completing his studies he worked in Johann Rudolph Glauber's pharmacy in Amsterdam in 1667 and after Glauber's death in 1672 he set up a chemical laboratory in Leiden. Here he gave lectures on pharmacy and botany from 1675 and was admitted to the medical college in 1677. To this end he obtained his doctorate in medicine on 13 July 1678 with a thesis entitled 'De Medicamentis Galenicis' under Jacob Vallan at the University of Utrecht. In 1690 he became a lecturer in chemistry and head of the chemical laboratory in Leiden. After being granted a teaching licence at the medical faculty in 1692 he was appointed professor of chemistry and medicine on 6 May 1702 a position he took up with his inaugural lecture 'De concordantia operum naturae chymiae et medicinae'. With the appointment of this chair the chemical sciences were given a recognised place in Leiden's scientific world for the first time. As a member of the teaching staff he was also involved in the organisational tasks of the Leiden educational institution and was rector of the Alma Mater in 1706/07 a position he resigned with his speech 'De empirica doctrina medica'. After his death Herman Boerhaave took over his chair of chemistry. He was familiar with Boyle's writings imbued with the atomic theory and Descartes Followed in paying special attention to the shapes of the particles and opponent of the contemporary view of blood circulation which he defined as a 'Doctrina cadaverosa' without any real use. In his work as a chemist he investigated the fermentation theory of Franciscus Sylvius which he found unpersuasive. This work contains research of considerable interest primarily on the fermentation of organic substances and mixtures of food.
